No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
"concentrated?"
Ning Fan didn't understand what Ma Yuxiang meant at first.
Ma Yuxiang patiently explained, "It's like this. Before, Mr. Wigginton went up, Miss Qiao also went up, including many people with high-level spirit servants. After they went up, the spirit servants were actually wasted."
Ning Fan actually realized this later.
It’s just that when we went to the city, we were too excited and many people ignored this point.
Qiao Fei and Xu Ben, both of them are of relatively high soul level [Thousand Soul Level].
Not to mention Wigginton, he is a real high-level [Thousand Souls Level], not much worse than Guan Shanyue.
The moment they entered the upper city, all these spirit servants disappeared, as if they had been wasted.
So, during this period, those who stayed in the lower city were also thinking about this issue.
"That's what we thought."
Ma Yuxiang continued, "Most of the people who followed you were able to come up with strategies, but there weren't many who knew how to lead troops in battle."
What he was referring to were top-level generals like Duan Weijun who were able to lead large numbers of troops.
After hearing this, Ning Fan basically understood.
Among those who stayed in the lower city, there were two people with strong leadership abilities.
One of them is Ma Yuxiang, who is proposing this idea.
Former commander-in-chief of the Southern Defense Force.
The other one is naturally Guan Shanyue, the former commander-in-chief of the regional patrol army.
And what Ma Yuxiang said now was also sending a signal to Ning Fan.
He and Guan Shanyue wanted to go up.
Before going up, they would "hand over" their spirit servant to another person.
Although a lot of soul levels will definitely be wasted in this process, it is better than disappearing completely.
Moreover, judging from Guan Shanyue's attitude just now, he was indeed fed up with the feeling of waiting for news in the lower city.
Perhaps they don't have such a strong obsession with the upper city, but just don't want the people of the lower city to suffer in the upper city, so they want to do their best.
"Currently, the only ones who have accepted this proposal are me and Lao Guan."
Sure enough, Ma Yuxiang's words quickly confirmed Ning Fan's suspicions: "After all, our ability to lead troops is much higher than others. As long as we go up, it will be enough."
"Old Guan meant that his spirit servant has special characteristics. He originally wanted to give it to Lu Yuan, but it seems like a mismatch. Forcing it on him would be a waste."
"In comparison, Qiming is more suitable."
"As for me, you can help with the advisory. It doesn't matter who you give it to."
It seems that Ma Yuxiang said it easily.
But this is a high-level [Thousand Souls Level] spirit servant!
How easy is it to give up a lifetime of hard work?
Moreover, after Ning Fan met Qiao Fei just now, he became more clear about one thing.
That is, there will definitely be a huge difference in thoughts before and after giving up the spirit servant.
Qiao Fei had voluntarily given up his spiritual servant.
She knew it was her choice.
But after truly becoming an ordinary person, I want to accept it without any emotional ups and downs...
It's too difficult.
When you give up, it’s because you still have it.
But only when you really lose something will you truly feel this sense of loss.
Although Ma Yuxiang and Guan Shanyue must have made this decision after careful consideration.
But even so, Ning Fan was still certain that they would regret it.
They now want to use their ability to lead troops to go to the city to help Ning Fan.
When a problem that cannot be solved really arises, they will also think that it would be better if their spirit servants were still there.
This is human nature.
Everyone is the same.
Of course, Wigginton might be an exception.
This old man had no intention of coming out again, and after arriving in Shangcheng, he thought very clearly. If there are any decision-making issues that he can't figure out, I can give some advice.
But when it comes to real combat, don't consider me.
I'm just an old man.
On the other hand, Ma Yuxiang and Guan Shanyue definitely do not have such a mentality.
"Let's put this matter aside for now."
Ning Fan only considered it for a moment before waving his hand. "In the short term, there shouldn't be much fighting in Shangcheng. With Commander Duan here, that should be enough."
"Ning Fan..."
On the side, Guan Shanyue, who had been silent the whole time, also wanted to fight for it again after Ning Fan rejected his proposal.
But Ning Fan interrupted him directly.
"Uncle Guan, I'm telling the truth. My current plan is to develop well in the Upper City and I won't rush to attack the Peak City."
"When I really need you to go up, I won't be polite."
Ning Fan smiled and said, "So before that, you can still be masters for a while."
Guan Shanyue and Ma Yuxiang certainly knew that Ning Fan was thinking about them.
Similarly, the reason why the two made this decision was to help Ning Fan.
This kind of thing is true love in exchange for true love.
"Also, I was thinking about a question before."
Ning Fan suppressed his smile and turned serious. "Since Summit City is releasing miasma downwards through the [Road of Grace], perhaps they'll also throw other things down."
Both of them looked stern.
Ning Fan's response to the last miasma incident was extremely quick, and his handling method was definitely pleasing.
But even so, there are still many discordant voices in Region A.
This is also normal. After all, someone has died. No matter how much compensation you give, you can't bring back their life.
This sound did not seem to have much impact, but everyone present understood that it was an extremely dangerous signal.
For Ning Fan, Xiacheng will always be his foundation.
Only with a stable foundation can he develop steadily in Shangcheng.
If a few more similar incidents continue to happen, Ning Fan will be completely put in a passive situation.
Although the people present had never actually fought with Diancheng, they would also think that once their weaknesses were discovered by the other side, they would never give up the opportunity to tear them apart.
The biggest weakness of the Lower City right now seems to be the passivity of [Path of Grace].
So when Ning Fan mentioned the issue of [The Road of Grace], the two of them felt that the other party was likely to make a big fuss about this issue.
"You can rest assured about that."
Guan Shanyue said seriously, "I have already destroyed all the uncontrolled [Paths of Grace] according to the map Luo Xiu gave me."
Ning Fan was stunned.
He had not asked about the affairs of the lower city during this period. He did not expect that Guan Shanyue and Luo Xiu had already solved this trouble in such a simple and crude way.
“As for residents, the downtown area is currently in a phase of mass exodus.”
Speaking of this, Guan Shanyue's face became a little gloomy.
"Area F...can accommodate a lot of people."
